“Wonderful overnight pet sitter! Alyssa took great care of our dog overnight and left our home just as we left it, clean and tidy. Our pup was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Highly reliable and attentive. We’d definitely book again!”
“Lavinia could not have done a better job looking after Ollie for 4 days last week! She communicated really well throughout the week, was super punctual, and went above and beyond as far as any request we made. Ollie had a fantastic week and we are looking forward to Lavinia taking care of him again! Thank you again, Lavinia!”
“Mike took wonderful care of Colby. We are lucky to be able to relax knowing Colby is in good hands. He stayed the night and let Colby out in the early morning hours to make sure he was taken care of. He did puzzles with Colby and brushed his teeth. Colby knows Mike by name and loves hanging out with him. Thank you so much Mike!!”

“Very much appreciate the last minute availability and the good care of my pup Nilla! I would’ve liked more updates on how it was going, but I just get nervous leaving her, especially with new people. Everything in the house was we left it and Nilla was perfectly content when we’re arrived home.”
“She is part of our family. I am sure that she will take care of my babies like her own babies. When I first met her my babies started to fight and the way she approached to my babies told me everything about her . You can trust her to leave your babies with this amazing lady. Thank you”
“I'm so thankful that John was able to care for my dog, especially during the holidays! John was very respectful and kind; trying to maintain my dog's daily routine while we were away. My dog can also be a bit difficult in warming up to strangers and with other dogs, but John was great at understanding and working with Wally's behavior. Would recommend John's services at any time!”
“Emily has taken care of my baby 🐕 twice now, and does a great job! My dog seems comfortable with her and is happy and tired when I come home 🥰. Emily is also very thoughtful and leaves everything clean.”
About: I've had pets my entire life! I've taken care of my own pets - dogs, cats, snakes, gerbils, and rats - who have had a variety of needs including meds, fluids and inhalers, and friends', family, and neighbors' pets! I have always been a huge animal lover and having just moved back to Rochester with my partner as he starts his residency, I have a lot of free time! I would love to help with your animals! I have two cat and dog friendly cats who have a good routine and are always looking for new friends to play with! My apartment is secure and I dote on my kitties!
“Suzanne did a really great job watching my pup! She met with me a couple of times before my trip, was patient with my anxious dog, followed instructions, took lots of notes, sent me great photos and updates, and left the house very clean and tidy. I would highly recommend her!”
“We couldn't be happier with our experience with Michelle as a sitter for our dog, Darby! From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely cares for animals. During Darby's stay, Michelle took her on daily walks, ensuring she got plenty of exercise and fresh air. We loved receiving daily photos that captured Darby's playful spirit and happy moments, giving us peace of mind while we were away. It was evident that Darby received plenty of attention and playtime, as she came home tired and content. Michelle's dedication and warmth truly made a difference, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter for their furry friends! Thank you, Michelle!”
“Ricky "petsat" our elderly dog and 2 cats in our home for 4 nights and they were well taken care of. Our dog requires multiple medications and Ricky was comfortable with administering. He didn't balk at cleaning up little cat puke! He is quick with communicating and sent us photo updates. I felt comfortable that our fur babies were being well cared for. Thank you Ricky.”
“Nina was a great sitter for our three dogs. Even before the booking and meet/greet, she asked questions to get to know our dogs and their routines. She’s very thorough and detailed. Nina communicated throughout the stay with pictures and updates on how they were doing. She kept the house clean also. Would recommend and book again!”
“Jessica is a real pro! She was communicative, responsive and sent lots of updates and photos! She took care of my bichon/shih tzu mix like he was her own! She house sat for 4 days and 3 nights and left my home very clean! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, thoughtful and responsible sitter!”

In addition to caring for her personal cats, Carolyn has experience raising and training young pups in her family home, and being granted the opportunity to care for exotics. Not only will you enjoy having your pets cared for by Carolyn, but you will request her service again for her attention to detail and her kind heart.”

I have used Ona many times and will continue to use her services. My dogs are OBSESSED with her and are so excited when she comes to visit. Ona continues to be an amazing sitter and I couldn’t be happier with the level on service she provides. She knows my dogs very well and always meets their needs!
Our pet sitter that we had for many years moved away and we needed to find someone. I had heard of Rover but did not know much about it. I decided to try it. When I read Komal’s information, I just had a good feeling about her. We had a meet and greet and I knew right away this was a good fit for my fur babies. My male golden retriever is a bit emotional, and she just knew what to do to calm him down. She sent us pictures daily and that was so important to me. She went above and beyond doing extra things around my house! She was so sweet to deal with. I threw her a lot of information, and she was very patient with me. The house was clean and tidy when we got home with happy pups and a happy kitty! I will definitely use Komal again when we go away!🐶
Maria is amazing! We have been repeat clients because she always takes great care of our dogs, and they absolutely love her! She provides us with at least a couple check-ins daily and plenty of photos to show how happy and well taken care of they are while we are out of town ☺️
I can’t recommend Izzy highly enough! She took exceptional care of my dog and cat while I was away. My dog can be a bit reactive, but Izzy handled her with calm confidence—walking her two to three times a day and playing enriching games to keep her engaged. She also made sure my cat was well entertained (even using a tablet!) and administered her medication with no trouble. When my flight home was unexpectedly canceled, Izzy rearranged her schedule and stayed an extra night without hesitation. It was such a relief to know my animals were safe, happy, and not alone during what turned out to be a stressful trip home. Izzy is reliable, caring, and clearly has a deep understanding of animals. I’m so grateful for her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.
Nina was a great sitter for our three dogs. Even before the booking and meet/greet, she asked questions to get to know our dogs and their routines. She’s very thorough and detailed. Nina communicated throughout the stay with pictures and updates on how they were doing. She kept the house clean also. Would recommend and book again!
John was amazing. This was the first time we had a sitter for our 10 month old lab and he made us feel so comfortable and relaxed about the entire experience. He helped train our dog and made him comfortable when we were gone. We can’t wait to ask for John to help us in the future. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about dogs. Lucky to have found him.
Emily went above and beyond in caring for our pets! She frequently communicated and sent pics. The animals looked well loved and happy giving us peace of mind. She also took care of unexpected problems with our pool and home without worrying us about it until she had found solutions to keep our stress low. She is the best!
Annaliese made an initial visit with Chester to get to know him. Chester is 14 and has mobility issues so we talked about his requirements while we were away for about six hours. We were impressed with her approach to Chester - he's sometimes protective when visitors come into the house. They got along great! It turned out we had to cancel our plans so we didn't need a sitter. However, I wouldn't hesitate having Annaliese as a pet sitter.
I have booked Emalee for overnight dog sitting a number of times now. She is my go to when I am out of town and I want to rest easy knowing my pup is well cared for when I am gone. Thank you for treating her like one of your own. Not to mention the updates are so reassuring to get. Emalee is so respectful of the house and the space going above and beyond to make sure things are left tidy!!
Rohila was super responsive and great with our dog, who unexpectedly got really upset we were gone and ended up being a handful. The cats--even our normally super shy and nervous one--seemed calm and happy when we got back. And I couldn't even tell someone had been staying in our house. Thanks so much for everything, Rohila!
Helen was wonderful with our puppy Ayla and treated her like one of her own. We really appreciated the updates and adorable photos, it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s obvious that she’s a dog lover and is fantastic with animals. We would absolutely recommend her to everyone!
